Variability in mesoscale circulation and its effects on zooplankton distribution in the Northern California Current

Creator:

Keister, Julie Eileen

Abstract:

In eastern boundary current upwelling ecosystems, mesoscale circulation features such as eddies and upwelling filaments play a prominent role in the transfer of water and the associated plankton from the productive nearshore to the oligotrophic deep sea. The relationship between mesoscale circulation, zooplankton distributions, and the across-shelf transport of coastal...
